Framed

The first crime novel from the UK’s most charismatic sporting genius.

Frankie James is a young man with a lot on his shoulders. His mother disappeared when he was fifteen; his father’s in jail for armed robbery; and he owes rent on his inherited SoHo snooker club to one of London’s toughest gangsters. Things, you’d think, can only get better. Actually, they’re about to get a whole lot worse.

Frankie always swore to his mum he’d keep his younger, wilder brother out of trouble. However when Jack turns up at the club early in the morning, covered in someone else’s blood, with no memory of the night before, it seems there’s no way Frankie can make good on his promise. With Jack banged up, awaiting trial for the vicious murder of a bride-to-be – a murder that’s sparked an even more vicious gang war between London’s two foremost crime families – Frankie knows a conviction could quickly turn into a death sentence if he doesn’t discover who framed Jack…

idely read in medieval history, Mark Alder was a journalist Wbefore becoming a full time writer.

Son of Night

The 100 Years War reaches the bloody slaughter of Crecy as Angels and Demons fight for the future of Man, in a series perfect for fans of George RR Martin and Bernard Cornwell alike.

Following on from the success of Son of the Morning, which saw him compared to both Bernard Cornwell for the flair of his historical writing and to George RR Martin for his gripping plotting, Mark Alder takes his history of the 100 Years War into France as the war between Heaven and Hell swallows up the ambitions of both the French and English crowns.

As the armies mass around Crecy the rivalries between Lucifer, Satan and God become ever deeper and more violent. Combining a cast of larger than life (yet real) characters and a truthful, deeply researched take on the religious beliefs of the time, Mark Alder has embarked on a truly unique historical fantasy that will ensure you never see the 100 Years War and the history of medieval Europe in the same way again.

The Massacre of Mankind

The preeminent science fiction writer of his generation writes a sequel to the most famous SF book in the world.

In the early years of the twentieth century, we were invaded by beings from Mars. They defeated us utterly – but by luck, and the intervention of the common cold – they were defeated in turn.

But the world had changed. We knew we were no longer alone.

And we knew that one day the Martians might return, and the war would begin again.

That day is now.

The Martians do not repeat the mistakes of their last invasion. They use the advantages of space. They target Britain especially, since we resisted last time. They have a heat ray platform in a mothership orbiting Earth - carving Mars-like canals across the landscape. And of course they stay sealed off from the bugs in the air.

The massacre of mankind has begun.

Her books are now published in over 50 countries and have won a number of British and international awards. Joanne’s first book for Gollancz The Gospel of Loki was published to rave reviews last year and has sold nearly 60,000 copies.

Fairy Tales

A collection of dark, captivating fairy tales from the bestselling author of The Gospel of Loki.

That’s the beauty of stories; you never know where they will take you.

The toymaker who wants to create the perfect wife; the princess whose heart is won by words, not actions; the tiny dog whose confidence far outweighs his size; and the sinister Lacewing King who rules over the Silken Folk. These are just a few of the weird and wonderful creatures who populate Joanne Harris’s first collection of fairy tales. Dark, gripping and brilliantly imaginative, these magical tales will soon have you in their thrall.

The tales will be beautifully illustrated by renowned illustrator Charles Vess.

eter Higgins is the acclaimed author of the Wolfhound Century Ptrilogy, which met extraordinary critical acclaim and was sold in five territories. The British Fantasy Society rated Wolfhound Century as ‘A thrilling masterpiece... brilliant world-building, great writing, and a pace that challenges you to put it down and then slaps you in the face with a constant niggling itch to return.’

The Waldenau Series

The Cold War is fought across a mythical Europe in this thrilling meeting of China Mieville and John le Carre.

Deep in the frozen years of the Cold War the intelligence services of East and West stumble on Waldenau. Waldenau is another Europe, a Europe of myth, legend and folklore that has existed alongside our Europe for 300 years. It is a place of mythical beasts, and slow magics, of folklore come true and living legends. It has evolved into a dream of Europe as it was in the 1920s, a Europe of Kafka, Bulgakov, Carter and Schulz.

A Europe of riches and dangers that the Cold War cannot let alone. A Europe that cannot let the Cold War alone.

This is the first of sequence of extraordinary spy novels, rich with the atmosphere of the Cold War and the older, darker atmosphere of a shadowy, realer Europe.

Foreign Devils

Sequel to the critically acclaimed The Incorruptibles – new lands, new wars, new dangers.

The world is on the brink of war. Fisk and Shoe – mercenaries, very much not wanting to get caught in the middle of a political whirlwind – must deliver a very important message, and find a very dangerous man. They have caught the eye of the powerful men of the world, and now the stakes are higher than they like.

And the Emperor has decreed that Livia Cornelius, pregnant with Fisk’s child, must travel to the far lands of the Autumn Lords on a diplomatic mission. It will mean crossing half the world, and facing new dangers. And in the end, she will uncover the shocking truth at the heart of the Autumn Lords’ Empire.

A truth which will make the petty politics of war and peace unimportant, and will change the world.

The Stealer’s War

In this third part in a strong and unique fantasy series, sometimes taking revenge is no comfort at all.

Weyland has been at war. Invaded by a technologically advanced enemy, the cities sacked, and what fragile peace remained torn apart by a civil war.

All anyone should want is a return to peace. But Jacob Carneham still wants his revenge; and if he can lure the invaders into the mountain he can have it. He can kill them all.

If he does, there may never be peace again. If he doesn’t, Weyland will never be free of the threat of invasion.

The northern horse lords are planning an attack. A future Empress is fighting to save her daughter. Jacob’s son is trying to restore peace and stability to Weyland, alongside the rightful King. And behind it all is a greater struggle, which may spell the end for them all.

The Thorn of Emberlain

With a controversial twist in the tale coming, Locke and Jean find themselves sucked into the horror of war.

The Gentleman Bastard series continues, and now Locke Lamora, thief, con-man, pirate, political deceiver must become a soldier as finally the war that has been brewing in the Kingdom of the Marrows flares up and threatens to capture all in its flames.

And all the while Locke must try to deal with the disturbing rumours about his past revealed in The Republic of Thieves. Fighting a war when you don’t know the truth of right and wrong is one thing. Fighting a war when you don’t know the truth of yourself is quite another. Particularly when you’ve never been that good with a sword anyway...

an McDonald is a key figure in the history of SF. A ground- Ibreaker in the movement to extend SF beyond its anglo-centric roots, he has won many awards, including the BSFA award for best novel FOUR times, and is universally critically acclaimed. His thrilling new novel Luna: New Moon has just been the subject of a six way auction for the TV rights in the US, which have been acquired by CBS and Shane Brennan, the showrunner for NCIS: Los Angeles.

Luna: New Moon An SF thriller about the deepest evocation yet of the terrors and rigours of life on the moon – a Godfather for the 21st Century.

Having woven intricate and gripping plots around thought provoking looks at the future of countries like India, Brazil and Turkey, Ian McDonald now turns his attention to the moon. Luna is a gripping thriller about five corporate families caught in a bitter battle for supremacy in the harsh environment of the moon. It’s very easy to die on the moon but with its vast mineral wealth it’s also easy to make your fortune. This is SF that will be perfect for fans of Kim Stanley Robinson and Ken Macleod alike.

Told over three volumes this will do for the moon what the award winning River of Gods did for India, the award-winning Brasyl for Brazil and the award winning The Dervish House for Turkey – it will give it a vibrant, extraordinary and believable future.

Down Station

Award-winning author Simon Morden joins Gollancz with a stunning SF quest across a vast world that mirrors every London ever built.

A small group of commuters and tube workers witness a fiery apocalypse overtaking London. They make their escape through a service tunnel. Reaching a door they step through...and find themselves on a wild shore backed by cliffs and rolling grassland. The way back is blocked. Making their way inland they meet a man dressed in a wolf’s cloak and with wolves by his side. He speaks English and has heard of a place called London – other people have arrived here down the ages – all escaping from a London that is burning. None of them have returned. Except one – who travels between the two worlds at will. The group begin a quest to find this one survivor; the one who holds the key to their return and to the safety of London.

And as they travel this world, meeting mythical and legendary creatures, split between North and South by a mighty river and bordered by The White City and The Crystal Palace they realise they are in a world defined by all the London’s there have ever been.

Reminiscent of Michael Moorcock and Julian May this is a grand and sweeping science fantasy built on the ideas, the legends, the memories of every London there has ever been.

From Darkest Skies

A high-concept science fiction thriller wrapped around a love story, a man’s search for the truth about his dead wife, and his relationship with the artificial intelligence he has built to replace her.

After a five year sabbatical following the tragic death of his wife and fellow agent Alysha, Keona Rause returns to the distant colony world of Magenta to resume service with the Magentan Intelligence Service. With him he brings an artificial recreation of his wife’s personality, a simulacrum built from every digital trace she left behind. She has been constructed with one purpose – to discover the truth behind her own death – but Keona’s relationship with her has grown into something more, something frighteningly dependent, something that verges on love.

Cashing in old favours, Keona uses his return to the Service to take on a series of cases that allow him and the artificial Alysha to piece together his wife’s last days. His investigations lead him inexorably along the same paths Alysha followed five years earlier, to a sinister and deadly group with an unhealthy fascination for the unknowable alien Masters; but as the wider world of Magenta is threatened with an imminent crisis, Keona finds himself in a dilemma: do his duty and stand with his team to expose a villainous crime, or sacrifice them all for the truth about his wife?

13 Minutes

A stunning, fresh story about life, friendship, bullying and death which will take your breath away.

Natasha died for 13 minutes. We know she drowned. We know someone tried to murder her. But we don’t know the truth . . .

This is an exceptional, contemporary, thought provoking thriller from an award- winning novelist. Brilliant characterisation, a simple narrative and an unflinching look at manipulation, relationships and death make this a compelling read.

Reviews for The Death House:

‘impressive and moving’ SFX

‘shocking and gripping, albeit ultimately hopeful and utterly moving . . . it’s Sarah Pinborough’s finest novel to date’ SciFiNow

hristopher Priest’s novels have built him an inimitable dual Creputation as a contemporary literary novelist and a leading figure in modern SF and fantasy. His novel The Prestige is unique in winning both a major literary prize (The James Tait Black Award and a major genre prize The World Fantasy Award); The Separation won both the Arthur C. Clarke and the British Science Fiction Awards. The Islanders won both the BSFA and John W. Campbell awards.

The Gradual

Set in the Dream Archipelago of Christopher Priest’s The Islanders, this is a taut and thoughtful novel about art, plagiarism and creative identity.

Telling the story of a composer who is struggling to find his way during a time of conflict, The Gradual deals with the subtle and profound effects of war on civilians. It is the story of a man who learns that someone is stealing his work and who spirals into self-doubt and paranoia about where his creation came from and whether it was ever truly his to begin with. As with the award-winning The Islanders Christopher Priest has produced a masterpiece of literary SF.

Summerland

An awe-inspiring SF account of the afterlife and what happens when it spills over into the world of the living.

Hannu Rajaniemi follows up on the astounding success of his Jean de Flambeur trilogy with an epic stand-alone novel. One which will confirm his talent, emphasise the breadth of his range as a novelist and will establish him alongside Neal Stephenson and Adam Roberts as a master of both prose and ideas.

It is 1958. World War II never happened. In the 1930s, the armies of the afterlife – known as Summerland – conquered the world of the living. The ruthless, immortal Summer Lords and their ectoplasmic machines rule a dark Britain with an iron fist. A gifted young medium and a bastard daughter of Harry Houdini discover a map of the Other Side that could break their power. But how do you start a revolution against rulers you cannot escape even in death?

The Medusa Chronicles

A sequel to Arthur C. Clarke’s Nebula Award winning A Meeting with Medusa, written by two of the greatest science fiction writers of our time.

Following an accident that almost cost him his life, Howard Falcon was not so much saved as he was converted, through the use of prosthetics, into something faster, stronger and smarter . . . but also slightly less human and more machine than he was. And with this change came an opportunity - that of piloting a mission into Jupiter’s atmosphere, and ultimately of making first contact with the life forms he discovers there.

Picking up the threads of humanity versus artificial intelligences and machines, and of encounters with the alien, this collaborative novel between two superb writers is a sequel to Howard Falcon’s adventures. A proper science fiction adventure, this is perfect for fans of Golden Age SF as well as the modern SF reader.

The Thing Itself

It seems we are alone in the Universe. How can that be? Adam Roberts brings his own unique literary take to Science Fiction’s greatest question.

Adam Roberts turns his attention to answering the Fermi Paradox with a taut and claustrophobic tale that echoes John Carpenters’ The Thing.

Two men while away the days in an arctic research station. Tensions between them build as they argue over a love-letter one of them has received. One is practical and open. The other surly, superior and obsessed with reading one book – by the philosopher Kant.

As a storm brews and they lose contact with the outside world they debate Kant, reality and the emptiness of the universe. The come to hate each other, and they learn that they are not alone.
